Audio File Conversion

Many clients want to know about audio file conversion in order to send their large audio files over the Internet.

You may be wondering why would you need to convert your audio file? Well, the best way to compress an audio file is to convert the audio file to a different format. Don't worry -- even a non-technical person can handle this with ease. There are several programs available that allow you to do this and I am going to recommend three based on my own experience and recommended by my clients.

The program I used is called Switch from NCH Software. It is a free download. As an example of what it is able to do for you, I was able to take a .wav audio file that was 32.2 MB and using Switch converted it into an MP3 file that was only 16.1 MB.

One of my clients highly recommends Easy WMA. It is $10.00 and very easy to use. A perfect solution for those who want a very simple interface.

Another free conversion software available for download is Koyote. I haven't personally tried this one, but I have heard good things about it

Whichever method you use, taking just a few minutes to download one of these programs will enable you to send those larger audio files out for transcription, making your life much easier.
